Rethinking Retirement for the Next Generation


As I ponder what it means for all to train up the Next Generation (Psalm 78:3-7), I can't help but think that retirement as we know it has to be redefined. Retirement needs to be understood in light of making disciples for the Glory of God and the joy of children yet unborn. (Psalm 78:6) I do not propose that I am qualified to redefine retirement, but I believe that John Piper's booklet, "Rethinking Retirement" and conference message "Getting Old for the Glory of God" may be made useful to this end. May God use these resources to shape your understanding of retirement for the advancement of the Gospel and the Next Generation. Amen.
